The PD Exchange

Writing Textbooks that Win

Part of BEA 2026
Saturday 18 April 2026·7:00 pm

Explore winning strategies for textbook authors—from safeguarding IP to contract negotiation and choosing a publishing path. This session follows the unconference format: rather than a fixed agenda, participants collectively shape the discussion and share expertise, so everyone’s questions and insights take center stage. Join fellow attendees for a lively, peer-driven exploration of writing prep, workflows, and the pros and cons of self-publishing, academic, and corporate publishing. Moderator: Robb Montgomery Facilitators: William Hanff, Peter Orlik Moderator: Robb B Montgomery, Visual Editors, NFP Panelists: William Hanff, University of District of Columbia Peter B. Orlik, Central Michigan University (emeritus)
